As some of you probably already know, I received a sample of Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Purifying Shampoo and Conditioner from Influenster as part of the Fresca VoxBox. Although I received these products for free my thoughts about it are based on my own experience.

Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Purifying Shampoo

CLAIMS:

• Environmentally Friendly
• Cleans the hair without using harsh chemicals ( such as sulfates, silicones, parabens or dyes)
• In addition, it is biodegradable (meaning that it won't clog your pipes or your pores.
• It is infused with mint and raspberry extracts 

INGREDIENTS:

Cleaning Agent	This one in particular is usually use to enhance the appearance and feel of hair as well as cleaning the hair
Conditioning Agent
Humectant
Appearance enhancer
Extracts
Help Preserve Cosmetics
Careful
Hazardous

THOUGHTS:

This shampoo worked really well for me and it made my hair super soft and clean with stripping my hair of its natural oils. Along with the conditioner and got a great result. PLUS no harsh chemicals and amazing smell. It is pretty obvious that I love this shampoo. However, with that said, this is not a shampoo for everyone. It does not have harsh cleaning agents so if you are the type of person who likes squeaky clean hair or that usually suffers from product buildup, this might not be for you.

The reason I love this shampoo (in addition to the previous mentioned reasons :D) is that it is the perfect middle ground product between the harsh traditional shampoo and the no-poo options. It does not have any sulfate, silicone, parabens or dyes. For these reasons, it cleans my hair without irritating my scalp or over drying my hair. Also, I really like the fact that it is not only a great product for our hair but also not tested on animals and it is environmentally friendly. Highly recommend!

THOUGHTS:

I love the scent of the conditioner as much as I love the scent of the shampoo. It also has amazing ingredients that condition and protect the hair. It is a pleasant experience to use both the shampoo and conditioner every morning as it provides a burst of energy and wakes me up. In addition to the Mint and raspberry extracts and conditioning agents, this conditioner contains quinoa which is known to nourish the hair and protect the hair. This conditioner is very light (similar to a leave-in conditioner) but it provides enough amount of moisture. I provides great slip of you tend to brush or detangle your hair in the shower, this conditioner will allow to do it effortless.

DRY HAIR

WOULD I REPURCHASED?

Definitely! Especially the shampoo. I deep clean my scalp once or twice a month. So I do not have a problem with product built up. So this shampoo is perfect for me. As for the conditioner, it is great but I have cheaper alternatives that I tend to use more. But I highly recommend both.

Although I received this product for free, all my opinions are my own.

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT.

Thank you and Have a lovely day...

 

BLENDS/SCENTS: 

CLAIMS:

NOTES:

• (No. 1) Violet & Pomegranate: Essential oil of violets and pomegranate notes enriched with amber and sandalwood
• (No. 2) Sea Salt & Rose Petals: Roses and vibrant greens and warm woods
• (No. 3) Blackberry, Juniper, & Magnolia: Blackberries and magnolias

THOUGHTS:

The No. 1 (aka my favorite) blend has a very sweet and fresh floral and fruity scent. The No. 2 blend is as describe a light and warm fragrance of roses. The No. 3 blend (aka my second favorite) is the strongest of the three. Although it is quite strong compare to the other two, and I don’t usually like strong scents, I quite enjoyed this one. The smell of magnolia and juniper is the first thing you smell, then you smell the sweet smell of blackberries. After testing them, my favorites are No. 3 and No. 2 individually and the combination of the two. Also, it is not the No. 2 does not smell good but after an allergic reaction to rose water, I pretty much do not respond well to anything that has a rose scent. Not that it smells like rose water.


I am quite sensitive scents and tend to have terrible migraines but with this JAFRA blends I did not have any problem. The scents are lovely and sweet but subtle enough to be worn by anyone for any occasion. These scents are perfect for the spring and summer time as they are more in the floral and sweet side. I have received many compliments while wearing them.

WOULD I REPURCHASE?

I received a deluxe sample of the Pure Silk Rich & Luxurious Shave Cream with Aloe in the scent Raspberry Mist in my Fresca VoxBox from influenster.com for free. But all my opinions are my own. I decided to write a review about it.


CLAIMS:

• Creates a luxuriously rich lather 
• Protects against nicks and cuts
• Leaves skin smooth as silk 
• Rust-Proof Aluminum Can
• Nourishes skin as you shave
• It contains no CFCs (which are harmful for the environment)

 Ingredients: 
Water, Stearic Acid, Isobutane, Propane (or may contain Butane), Triethanolamine, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Laureth-23, Fragrance, Aloe

RESULTS:









MY THOUGHTS:

This is my first time trying out a shaving cream from Pure Silk and I have to say I am really impress. The foam it creates is rich and luscious and it makes it incredibly smooth to shave. The creamy texture really helped the razor glide on the skin and get a smooth shave. Most importantly, I got a really close shave and there were no razor burns. The foam allows for a close shave but it does not clog your razor.  Also, the raspberry scent is amazing. The scent is one of my favorite parts of these shaving cream. I am in love with it. 

In terms of ingredients, if you have sensitive skin, please be aware of the ingredients. It contains Isobutane, Propane, and Butane which are a colorless and odorless gas used as aerosol propellants. They are used as alternatives to chlorofluorocarbons, or CFC propellants which have been proven to have negative effects on the environment. Some experts say that Isobutane, Propane, and Butane do not pose dangers to the ozone layer, but these ingredients may still pose minor health risks. Although the FDA has approved the usage of this ingredients in cosmetics, it pays to know if you are allergic or prefer more natural products. 

Also, it uses Sodium Lauryl Sulfate as its cleaning agent and emulsifying and foaming agent which is consider one of the most irritating cleaning agents in skin-care products. However, it has not been proven that there is no link between these ingredients and cancer. So, do your research and do not believe false rumors.With that said, this ingredient can cause skin irritation to some people. So make sure you read the list of ingredients and directions before using any skin-care product.


REPURCHASE???

I am really happy with the results and how long my shave lasts. So I will most probably buy it again when I run out. I would really recommended for people who like scented shaving creams and who like a creamy texture for there shaving cream. I have been using body lotion and conditioner for a while now and it did a good job and it left my skin nourished but these shaving cream offers a closer shave, and not chance of razor burns or cuts. 

Although I received this product for free, all my opinions are my own.

Thank you and Have a lovely day...

I am a huge tea lover so do not be surprise to read a couple tea reviews in the future. Although this is my first review, I have tried so many different teas from different brands. I went to the grocery store last month to get my mother her favorite Numi tea (Jasmine Green) but the store did not have anymore. I decided to purchase this one because I had not try a chocolate flavor tea before and I wanted to experience it.



CLAIMS:

• Helps weight management
• improve digestion and metabolism
• Naturally boost energy

As I mentioned in my previous review of the Carefree Liners, I was selected to received a sample of it from Influenster for review for free.

 

 

 

 

 

Retails: $3.49

It claims to:

• Hydrate – formulated with Shea Butter to restore moisture
• Replenish – with antioxidant Vitamins A, C, & E
• Smooth – rich emollients leave lips silky and soft
• Protect – with SPF 15 sunscreen
• Add Shine – for a perfect radiant finish

I like that:

• The packaging is really cute and compact
• The construction of the packaging is quite sturdy( After you close the lid, it won't open up in your purse or anything)
• It left my lips soft and hydrated
• It is very affordable
• It is long lasting and smells amazing
• It has SPF 15 
• It's easier to apply than a regular tube as both your upper and lower lips are covered after one swipe. 
• This lip balm has a smoother glide than some others lip balms.
• Softlips Cube texture to be quite creamy
• If you have dry lips, it will help you improve the texture of your lips

I dislike:

Although I really like the design, it is kind of big to carry if you don't have a bag or purse with you. I always have a lip balm with me in my key chain, but  although I really like this one, I can't carry it in my pocket, key chain or small handbag. But it's a nice addition to a desk or counter top. Having said that, you should know that although that CUBE is a bit bulky compare to regular chap sticks, it is not as big as the EOS and the Revo Chap-Ice.  

Conclusion: 

I  have only try the Vanilla Bean Cube but I want to try the other two after I finish this one. I was completely impress with this lip balm and I will definitely be purchasing another one. I love how it feels and looks. After I try the other flavors, I will make an update to this post.

 

• Airheads Bites
• Pilot FriXion Clicker
• SinfulColors No Text Red
• Kiss Looks so Natural Lashes
• Luden's New Blue Rasberry Throat Drops
• Softlips Cube
• Playtex Spot Fresh Balance

I really like all of the products and this box allow me to try some new products. I have not had a chance to use them all and I would like to use them for a long period of time before giving feedback but I have a few observations to share. First, I have never use false lashes before, but I will try to see how they look on me. Secondly, I really like the lip balm by Softlips (I will be posting a full review soon). Moreover, I am a writer and enjoy using different types of pens so I was super excited to try the Pilot pens. I am really enjoy using them on my journal, scrapbook and art journal (I'll do a review soon). Finally, I was really impress by SinfulColors new campaign ("Practice Safe Texting") and I will be definately start wearing red nail polish on my thumbnail to spread the word.



Thank you and I will be doing some individual reviews soon.
